Re: removeable electronics

Over the years I have inspected several robots with modular electronic boxes. They were some of the prettiest electricals I have seen. It does make the electricals gain some wire length. So that everything becomes so compact, all wiring was brought out to multiple contact connectors on one side of the box. Reminds me of an avionics unit on an aircraft. The teams usually built two of them since changing out a single defective component would take far too long.
